Proposed Approval of the Central 

Characterization Project’s Transuranic 

Waste Characterization Program at Los 

Alamos National Laboratory 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency. 

ACTION: Notice of availability; opening 

of public comment period. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA or we) is announcing the 

availability of, and soliciting public 

comments for 30 days on, the proposed 

approval of the radioactive, transuranic 

(TRU) waste characterization program 

implemented by the Central 

Characterization Project (CCP) at Los 

Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). 

This waste is intended for disposal at 

the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) in 

New Mexico. In accordance with the 

WIPP Compliance Criteria, EPA 

evaluated LANL–CCP’s characterization 

of contact-handled TRU debris and solid 

waste during an inspection conducted 

May 23–25, 2006, as well as during 

follow-up inspections on August 22, 

2006, and March 6, 2007. Using the 

systems and processes developed as part 

of the Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) 

Carlsbad Field Office (CBFO), EPA 

verified whether DOE could adequately 

characterize TRU waste consistent with 

the Compliance Criteria. The results of 

EPA’s evaluation of the LANL–CCP 

program and the proposed approval are 

described in EPA’s inspection report, 

which is available for review in the 

public dockets listed in ADDRESSES. We 

will consider public comments received 

on or before the due date mentioned in 

DATES. 

This notice summarizes the waste 

characterization processes evaluated by 

EPA and EPA’s proposed approval. As 

required by the 40 CFR 194.8, at the end 

of a 30-day comment period EPA will 

evaluate public comments received, 

finalize the report responding to the 

relevant public comments, and issue the 

final report and an approval letter to 

DOE’s CBFO. Based on previous EPA 

inspections and approvals, LANL–CCP 

is currently approved to dispose of 

debris and solid waste at WIPP. LANL–

CCP is permitted to continue waste 

characterization and disposal in 

accordance with prior site approvals 

while EPA establishes a baseline 

approval. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before May 18, 2007.
